So I only just found the full Forum Stats page (haha, yeah it took me a while) but I noticed something interesting on it

Male to Female Ratio: 1.2:1

I was just wondering how this was calculated. I know E was actually formed and the liee group brought in later, so if its calculated as ladies and lords, where do the lieges fit in. Or if its done by the gender symbol in the profile how does that work as well as no everyone has it?

If it works the way other SMF boards works then it's based on the box that you check for male/female (the one under your picture.) Sexual identities/orientations don't play a role in the numbers. It's not code that Veks wrote it's just a plugin feature of the SMF boards.

You can calculate it yourself though! I am very bad with number so some of this is undoubtedly wrong but...

Ladies: 4,001 3,663 Ladies321 Dames8 Lady Mentors6 Sirens3 Goddesses

Lords: 4, 568 4,329 Lords231 Knights4 Lord Mentors3 Satyrs1 God

Lieges: 211188 Lieges22 Champions1 Liege Mentor0 Genies0 Sidhe

This doesn't include members who are On Hiatus since that doesn't take gender into account. Otherwise all approved members should be included in this.

So that's like a total of 8,780, and if I'm doing the math right (I am almost certainly not doing this math right geez with all the scientists we have on this site where are they when you need one!?!?) I think that's...

45.5% Lady52.0% Lord2.4% Liege

I don't know how you do ratios.

Also every time I do this the mystery of who exactly the Liege Mentor is comes up. It is a person named Orgasm who has four posts none of which can be seen anywhere. *scooby doo theme*

Your math is actually spot on. To do ratios, you just have to figure out how you would get the same percentage if you set a given category to 1. The ratio of women to men to lieges is therefore about 1 to 1.14 to 0.05
